Hello,
I accidentally wiped everything in TWRP, including system files. So, now all I get is the unlocked bootloader screen. I can still access fastboot and I can still access TWRP, but I am having major issues getting a stock set of files loaded so I can start over from scratch. If anyone can please help me out, I would really appreciate it.
I tried using the Moto X toolkit and using the restore method, but it did not work. I also tried pushing a file to /sdcard/ via the same program and apparently that did not work either cause TWRP cannot see it.
I am in over my head here, so any help would be appreciated. I never had half of these issues on my N7 2013.
For the record, its a XT1060 with an unlocked bootloader. Thanks in advance.
I would suggest trying this. Should get you to the latest stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2827307

I was in the process of returning the phone back to stock from rooted ICS. Now it won't boot to the system it just keeps booting to CWM. I now have TWRP. Same scenario. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
How would I flash the phone with the AT&T stock ROM? Similar to flashing a bootloader...
mine is also stuck in a boot loop. when i go to exit out of twrp, it says no OS installed. i've used the all in one to try re-installing ICS bootloader and ICS Twrp, then push a rom to the sd card, then flash rom, but still says no OS... what do i do next??(sorry if im thread jacking, but i figured my problem might be similar to yours)

Search on these forums for the thrill resurrection guide. That's what I did and it worked. The downside is it took 2 whole evening to accomplish it. Some user learning curve the other is most of the file everything tells you to download have been removed from the servers since the phone is bit outdated.

Let me know what you can't find and I'll do my best to back track and see if I can find everything again.
Hey every one I'm in desperate need of help. Its been about a week and seeked help from other places and you guys are my last hope. As the title states, My '12 model Nexus 7 is suck in a boot loop after trying to update. I really didn't want to, but the darn notifications just would not stop. I've cleared the cache in recovery mode as of right now.
My main thing is to be able to save all my data before flashing the device. I hear there are ways to still root the device while stuck in a loop and recovering data then. True? I don't know, I just want my pictures and important files. Please, I beg for all your help and I will be greatly thankful for any ideas. Thanks in advance.
My Nexus is completely stock just so everyone knows.

Can you access the bootloader? The thing is, in order to root Nexus 7 you need to unlock it via fastboot. Unfortunately unlocking the bootloader implies the act of wiping all data on your tablet.
I'm not sure if stock recovery let you use the adb (I've never used it), but if it does you can use it to pull all your photos and important files out of it before flashing a new image (usually, on CWR, you can do this using a "sideload" option in recovery...something like "update via sideload").
Without an unlocked booloader there aren't many things you can do to save your Nexus 7...

Well, unless you are unlocked already this may not work. I had a similar issue but my Nexus was unlocked and rooted. I was playing around with the OTA 4.3 release and got stuck in bootloop and no adb when trying to reroot. What I had to do was use Wug's toolkit and do the BACK TO STOCK 4.2.2 with the current status set to soft-bricked/bootloop. (I also had to plug and unplug from the computer repeated times in order to get adb and fastboot to work while within this script). That allowed me to get unstuck. I then had to use Nexus 7 Toolkit to regain root as Wug would not work for some reason. I am currently back on my favorite 4.2.2 custom rom. Again, you might have to be unlocked already and you will loose your data. This is why i use DRIVE and SKYDRIVE to store backups. You never know what might happen with a device with no removable storage.
As far as the USB driver, the only thing that worked for me was to load the android sdk onto my computer. The other methods failed at this point. Again, crazy stuff was going on.
However, I was able to get to the file system when connected to the computer and could see my media file. My N7 was doing some wonky stuff.
Try using the Nexus Root Toolkit (by Wugfresh), there is an option to Restore+Unroot that will put the device back to pristine condition. When you select that there are two other options that go along with it, one is the table is booting normally, the other is stuck in a boot loop. Select the option that you are stuck in a boot loop and hopefully you can get yourself back to a working tablet, then root and do all the other stuff.
So I accidentaly flashed the wrong root file thus making my systemui continuously crash. Any suggestions as to what I can do?

Stock recovery or TWRP?
Are you looking to undo what you did without having to do a complete wipe, or are you open to more drastic solutions? Because you can always run the toolkit to reset to complete stock by flashing the stock images over your current system. But that would of course perform a complete wipe.

I dont really mind a complete wipe. And are you referring to this toolkit? http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...l-windroid-universal-android-toolkit-t3048099
if not could you please tell me which one?
And to clarify, I followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fPIYhzWlnw . The file that I flashed to attempt to root is in the description of that.

I actually used this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/tool-moto-x-pure-edition-recovery-t2897819 when I was messed around, but I would imagine either would work. When I needed to return to unrooted stock, I believe that toolkit returned me to 4.4.4 unrooted stock, then I just ran the 5.0 OTA once the phone booted up.
The toolkit you referenced is the one I used to unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP, and root my phone. As long as you can get to recovery or fastboot, either toolkit should work to return you to stock. BUT I caution you, I have a pure edition, and these toolkits were made for the pure edition. If you do not have a pure edition, you'll want to read the disclaimers/instructions/other posts to make sure it will work on your phone.
Okay so this escalated quickly.
So here I am being my dumb self , I try to flash TWRP. That goes fine and then I try to wipe my data. After that I reboot it and as its turning on it foes black on the boot animation. and now I cant even get into freaking recovery mode. I dont know what I did but im pretty sure I messed up bad. I need some serious help now and anything is appreciated.

Hey thats an easy fix just load into the boatloader and reflash the rom through mfastboot
edit: you should be able to get all the files you need from his website http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/ota-pure-edition-lollipop-5-0-t2932625

Bootloader as in vol. down + power button right? Thats not working too. I also tried other combinations to no luck. And before it was turning on but now its not even booting to the boot animation. Thanks for the link though, if it does magically boot into the bootloader then i'll know what to do at least.
Edit: Okay so theres the charging animation, so thats a start, I guess. Still no luck on the bootloader tho.
Okay got it into bootloader mode!
Now before I do any other stupid thing can somebody just confirm one thing for me? On Graffix's website, this is the img I should flash through mfastboot right
Lollipop 5.0 22.21.11 FULL IMAGE PACKAGE Zip
Just a confirmation because I dont really trust my judgement. Thanks again everybody

Yes that's right remember you only have to flash system
Sorry that my Toolkit suggestion messed you up. I really thought that solution would work, not make it worse.

Toolkit are never really a good idea it just makes people lazy and not learn how to flash or fix problems on there own.

I agree that Toolkits can make you lazy and not learn how to fix things on your own, but when you need a quick fix and don't have time to figure out what is going wrong, it's always nice to just boot your phone into fastboot or recovery and fix things with a few keystrokes on your computer.
I got it to work guys! Thanks for all the help. It was much appreciated.
Even after a year on Android, I'm quite the novice, so please bear with me. So, I rooted my Moto X '14 using CF Autoroot because it was so easy. But, I had no idea how to unroot. So I googled some stuff and I attempted to flash back to total stock rooted rom and recovery. Foolishly, I picked the option to not wipe. So, when it rebooted, it went to the boot screen and crashed.
After trying everything, I realized I had no choice and did an external reset. So, hello 2014 because I'm back on KitKat but still was rooted. After looking around, I realized I can 'unroot' by pressing the option on SuperSU. But, I think all I did was revoke root access because on the bootloader, it still says modified.
I tried to go back to lolipop, but every time I take the OTA, the install crashes, but my phone works fine. So, what I wanna know is how I can go back to stock. Is it easy as flashing as flashing a 5.0 factory image? Or is there more I have to do?

Just flash system and the root will be gone. Also, if you have other mods like TWRP or different modem the OTA won't install, so in order to get the latest update just flash all the files
Good luck

Haha, it's all good. I just didn't know how that other dude dug this up.
Okay. so after hours of searching and reading about unbricking my nexus 6. I am lost, and very desperate.
So, I unlocked my bootloader, and rooted my phone today using chainfire cf auto root. and all went well. The primary reason I did this was to edit the build.prop file to enable wifi tethering, and this is where my problems started. Using root explorer I added
HTML:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
to the end of the build.prop file. I rebooted and now I'm stuck in a bootloop on the google screen.
I did not have a custom recovery installed, so flashing a new rom isn't that easy. I have looked into flashing twrp or cwm from the stock recovery adb sideload feature, but I haven't gotten this figured out either.
So that brings me to where I am at now. I still have an unlocked bootloader, which I guess is leaving me some options, but I just don't know where to go to find information which isn't going to further muck this situation up.
Help, please. I don't have a backup phone. And I am getting desperate.
Thanks in advance

very first off.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/attention-questions-t3228454
meaning, you wont get help if tou do ont post it in the right place.
secondly, you have two choices, flash twrp then flash a rom, or flash the factory image(just system.img). what your pro lem is tgat you used a toolkit, instead of learning thd very easy proper way. now you dont know how to do things. its rwally easy to flash twrp via fastboot, and its very easy to flash a factory image using fastboot as well. now ill ask a mod to move your thread into the correct area..
thanks

i just saw, it was your first post. i didnt mean to sound rude, for that im sorry.
but you have your answer(s). your phone isnt bricked, its just without os. and the os can be flashed, even using a toolkit.
